The idea of forming a club came to a group of girls while visiting at the Lake Greenwood home of Sally Henderson on June 21, 1958. The officers:President, Beth Boling; Vice President, Ruth Greenwood; Secretary, Rose Hudgens; and Treasurer, Jinky Thomason, were elected immediately.

The purpose of the club is: "To develop our lives spiritually, mentally, and physically and to have well - rounded personalities". Blue and white became the official club colors.

Student Council Holds Meeting With Miss Rankin

Members of the Student Council met on September 19 with the new sponsor, Miss Rankin. The officers and sponsor discussed several problems - one of which received the "Thought for the Day" to be used in the daily bulletin.

The council decided to list eight monthly themes for the year. Each homeroom will be asked to submit three thoughts for each month, relating to the theme selected. It will be announced the last week of each month so every person will have time to think of some meaningful thoughts. Sportsmanship was discussed as a possible theme for the month of October.

Mr. Gault suggested that the Student Council sponsor a "Student of the Month". There will be a boy and a girl chosen each month from grades 9-12. This outstanding student will be chosen on scholarship, leadership, initiative, courtesy, cooperation, dependability, Sunday School attendance and service to the school and community.

Each homeroom will elect a boy and girl and submit the names to a teachers' committee who, in turn, will select the boy and girl student of the month.

New members will be added to the council as soon as a list of qualifications can be established.

Rev. J.L. Nanney Is First Chapel Speaker of Year

The sounding of the president's gavel at the beginning of sixth period, September 26, marked the opening of the first high school chapel program of the year. After the announcements and the introduction of the new Student Body officers, the speaker of the day, the Rev. Jack L. Nanney, pastor of the Taylors First Baptist Church, was presented to the students.

Mr. Nanney is one of those rare speakers who can mix humor, a serious thought, and brevity, and come up with a talk both interesting and inspiring.

for the first few minutes, he kept everyone in stitches with his jokes, which surprising enough were both new and funny. But when he was serious, an air of reverence pervaded the entire group.

It is hoped that all of our speakers for coming assemblies, will be as interesting and easy to listen to as Mr. Nanney.

Need School Spirit

If you can find the student who does not like to skip part of a class every now and then, who has no school spirit and who does not like to get together with his friends and hiller for the glory of "ole" Taylors High; you will have a student (and an odd one at that) on your hands who would pass up a chance to attend one of the school's pep rallies.

Mass meetimgs of the student body are always good to boost morale and school spirit. Pep meetings are no exception, in fact, they are the best examples. The primary reason for having these meetings os to get the students to yell at the ball games. This is where the main problem arises because so few of the students are attending the games. The cheers of you who do go are a credit to the school. What percentage, would you say, go to the rallies but not to the games? It is a mighty big number. They offer many excuses, but very few of them are really very good. No one wants the team to lose, and the cheering does much to boost the morale of the boys. So we should consider it our duty, not only to attend the gaes ourselves, but to see to it our friends do also! -- Darden Pryon

Look What's New

There has been a new addition in the school on the hill, and even without all those brains inside that pretty blonde head, we would be proud to have her around just as an ornmament.

She's far from being just ornamental, though, she teaches two classes of science and four classes of physical education. And, she's just as smart in science as she is nimble in physical education.

It must be obvious by now that my subject is our own Mrs. Kay Lesesne, fresh from Lander College abd right out of the beauty section too.

Let's make her feel so welcome that she'll still be at Taylor's High when our children are here.

Sportsmanship

"Baseball has been good to me. It has bought me fame, security and happines. I want to go being as good as possible to baseball."

These are the closing lines of Bob Feller's "Strike Out Story."

Not only in baseball, but, in life in general, sportsmanship applies to us. If we make it a prcatice to put something worthwhile into life, we will gain in abundance.

In Schoor's story of Ty Cobb, he stated, "There si no question about Ty Cobb. He stood head and shoulders above all the rest. No man has ever achieved so much in baseball. No man has given so much to the game."

Roving Reporter

by Rose Hudgens

113Since this is near the beginning of school and we're all getting acquainted, I decided that I should like to know better our principal, our coach and our BiologyChemistry teacher.

Many of the girls are wearing a lot of the new styles, this year, so, 12in order to get a man's view of the situation, I asked them this question: "What do you think about the new styles -- thr chemise and the trapeze?"

Mr. Huggins popped up amd said, "Personally, I think they hide the wrong things."

Mr. Guilt came right out with, "Those funny dresses? I don't like them. No! No! I don't like them!"

While, on the other hand, Mr. Bramlett thought a minute, then replied, "Well, I like 'em on some girls, but not on others. As for be ing crazy about the style, I'm not, but some girls look good in 'em."

Are you listening girls? What do you think?

A TEXTBOOK'S DIARY

Dear Diary;

September -- Today I was issued to a lovely girl. She flipped through me and used me in class, then threw me on the shelf in the back of the room.

October -- So far I've been written in, drawn in, had my pages turned down, and even torn. Still I ahven't been taken home. Wonder what it would be like.

November -- Guess what, I went home last night. She studied me for about ten minutes. Tomorrow's test day. Now I was left under her bed. Wonder whenI'll go back to school?

December -- Back on the shelf again. Vacation will soon be here. I'll have a long rest -- as if I haven't been having one.

January -- Oh, my aching pages. A new year has begun. My owner must have made a resolution! I was actually taken out of the dark corner and studied. Maybe it was just because the first semester ends soon.

February -- Oh, woe is me! I'm lost! My owner started home with me ans I found myself in a gymnasium. I donlt like it here under all these coats, hooks, shoes, and who know's what else.

March -- Well, I'm still in the gym. I'm beginning to get used to it after two monthd. Some fellow drew all these funny little diagrams all over me today. I heard something about thre being plays for the fall. I hope I won't be still here tehn.

April --What do you know, my owner found me! She accidentally sat down on me. The she took me back to my old shelf after studying me five minutes. Oh, my back, it's hanging on by only three threads now.

May -- Man, have I been used this month. Something about school 206ending I think. My back finally came off so quit hurting. Now

[article continues to middle of column three] my pages are very painful -- all torn and dirty.

June -- Woe is me, my owner piled me up, left in a rush, and someone else took me down to a 216dark, musty smelling place and stacked me up with a lot of junk. Something was said about discarding me. Guess it's just as well -- I'd never last another year!

Bi-Phy-Chem Students Make Trip To Savannah by Delane Misenheimer [title spans across columns 3 and 4]

[column 3] Sunday night, after school was out on Saturday, 23 members of the Bi-Phy-Chem left for Savannah Beach, Ga. at 12 midnight.

The sleepy headed bunch of kids were Darden Pyron, Walter White, Becky Roper, Jenny Moon, Inez Vaughn, Dawn Greenwood, Ronald Thompson, David Rosamund, Gerald Dempsey, Betty Boling, Bobby Chandler, Tommy Edwards, Mike Johnson, Bobby Johnson, Ruth Ann Greenwood, Jimmy Turner, Jimmy Ayers and Delane Misenheimer.

Chaperones were science teach ers, Mr. C. T. Odom and Mrs. Alice Cash.

Upon reaching our destination, the next thing was to get all the auitcases, fishing equipment and food off the bus. Man, what a job that was, but it didn't take too long because everyone was hungry and willing to hurry so the kitchen detail could gete to work and fix lunch. After the kitchen was cleaned and everyone had gotten their cabins situated, they decided it was time for a nice cool dip in the ocean, so off they went.

A couple of days several of the group went crabbing and fishing. This was great fun, and we caught a lot of crabs. That afternoon everyone had to go help get the meat out of them whether they had caught any or not. Wonder how many were slipped back into the

[article continues on top of Column 4]

ocean? This task sure wasn't a pleasant one.

Several times the boys played duck the duckie when the girls went swimming with them. The girls would be so out of breath they could hardly stand up.

At least once each day, everyone would go bowling, play pool or ping pong toogether. Everyone seemed to enjoy this and each im proved ggreatly in their skills in these sort of things.

Different details to do individual jobs such as cook, clean dishes, or clean cabins were assigned to everyone. The food was pretty 305good, considering who had to cook it. The dishes were never washed correctly and the cabins were a total wreck for a whole week, but looking back on these experiences, it can be seen what a grand time everyone had.

On the way home, the group went out to Fort Pulaski for a tour of the historical fort. Then, a de licious seafood dinner was enjoyed which put everyone in good spirits.. 318Later that afternoon the group was guests at the home of Mr. Odom's aunt in Barnwell for a snack of ice cream, cake and tea which was very appetizing.

The group reached "ole" Taylors 325again about one o'clock Monday morning feeling very bedraggled and worn out, but it was decided it was all worth it for all the fun that was had.

The Light Side By De Lane Misenheimer

A man of Scottish descent was attracting much attention in the hotel lobby with his tales of accomplishments.

[Title spans all 5 columns] Eagles Downed In Conference Tilt

[Column 1, Article 1] Taylors Loses Rival Game With Paris Hi

The Eagles played their first conference game Friday October 1, aganist the Paris High Yellow Jackets and the Eagles went down fighting with the score at 14-6.

Taylors won the toss and for the first time this season was able to receive on the opening kick-off.

Fullback Johnny Carlisle took the pigskin and returned it from the 15 to the 37-yard line. On the next play ,a pass from Quarterback Johnson to right end Ross, was intercepted by Paris; but the runback was halted after nine yards as Paris fumbled and the Eagles recovered, producing a first down for the visitors.

Both teams fought desperately to hold back the other and numerous fourth down punts occurred as neither squad was able to score.

Second Quarter[bolded]

The second quarter began much as the first ended, with the plays remaining steady inside Parisian territory.

In the first series of attempts, in the second quarter, neither side penetrated much yardage past the practically stationary line of scrimage; until on a punt by Paris, the Eagles' line set up a wall of blocking that paved the way for a spectacular return by Johnson o a 70-yard trip past the double stripes. This set the fans into a triumphant panic and placed thrills in their hearts that have for so long been laying on the side-lines. The Eagles were now ahead six points and had scored their first TD of the season.

The second half from the beginning was quite a different story as the Paris Yellow Jackets returned to drive up a powerful opponent. After losing the ball on downs to the Eagles and regaining it the same way, scored off of a pass from quarterback McMurry to halfback Steve Dacus. Chitwood kicked the extra point and the Eagles lost the lead 7-6.

Paris Scores Again[bolded]

The outstanding ability that had shown so brightly in the first half faded and the Yellow Jackets once again pushed their way to paydirt as McMurry demonstrated his passing skill for a second touchdown.

Chitwood, who played on outstanding game kicked a second extra point to make the score 14-6

On defense, as in previous games, Jiimy Turner was outstanding with sixteen individual tackles Others to contribute much on the defensive all were backers Bobby

Turning in outstanding performances in the backfield, Bobby Johnson and John Carlisle, along with Billy Batson and Jerry Johnson demonstrated their ability as offensive stars.

[Title spans tops of columns 4 & 5] Taylors High Football Review

Piedmont Is Winner

With a little more experience and improvement under their pads the Eagles once again met the offending foe. This time more determination and vigor was shown. However, the proper breaks at the proper times failed to find their way to the team's favor, and once again they met defeat, but not without a fight —one that topped all previous attempts displayed by the Taylors eleven.

And the "Eagle eyed" referees, who are probably the best this season, always seemed to be looking at the right place, but at the wrong time, as far as the Taylors squad's benefit went.

Taylors racked up eight first downs, but were penalized 140 yards which proved to be the difference in the game.

The crowd was kept on their feet as QB Johnson displayed his skill in hitting end Larry Ross, on three long passes and left half Walter White, on a 45 yard pass.

White, playing his best game thus far, gained 55 yards rushing. Starting on offense, he was the leading ground gainer of the night and picked up four first downs.

Fighting to the end, Taylors saw their chance for victory die on the 5 yard line. With goal to go, time ran out with the Eagles losing a heartbreaker 6-0.

The only score occurred in the second quarter as Piedmont halfback, Dean McAllister, rushed over on a 22-yard run.

Backer Larry Fleming was outstanding for the Bluedevils on defense.

Among the defensive wall for Taylors, were tackles, Plemmons and Chandler, and veteran backer, Jimmy Turner, who led the Eagles' defense with fourteen individual tackles. David Arledge, substituting for injured Patrick, played an outstanding game at guard.

Pacolet Upsets Taylors

Following the opening game with Woodruff, Taylors met its second

[Continues at the top of column 5] opponent the Pacolet Indians, who ran from the single wing formation.

The Taylors offense never got rolling as quarterback Jerry Johnson was rushed repeatedly, and having little time for plays to develop, lost many chances to hit pay dirt. Mistakes and penalties on offense once again were fatal to the Eagle's yardage as they were brought back reepatedly[repeatedly] due to these tough breaks.

Once again center Jimmy Turner turned in a good performance on defense along with fullback Johnny Carlisle and Don Dempsey.

On defense, and in his first game, David Arledge hit hard, and with a little practice may push Plemmons and Chandler for their positions at tackle.

Eagles Are Outclassed

A squad possessing unusual potential, but lacking in development, appeared as the Taylors High Eagles opened their 1958 football season against the Woodruff Wolverines on September 5 at the latter's field.

Mistakes hampered the Eagles as they fought to overcome the handicap of being an unexperienced squad. Their continuous efforts were not sufficient to stop the more experienced Wolverines, and Taylors was defeated in their season opened, 47-0.

The starting line-up for the Eagles consist of two first-year boys and nine returning lettermen. The Eagles fell behind in the first quarter and never threatened the Woodruff goal.

Fullback Johnny Carlisle and center Jimmy Turner in a good performance on defense for the Eagles.
