At the left is Ethelene Alewine, first runner-up and at the right is Ann Taylor, second runner-up. Sandie represented Taylors in the annual Christmas parade in Greer, Dec. 9.
Principal B. T. Gault Announces October Students Of The Month
Jerry Johnson and Ethelene Alewine were recently named "Students-of-the-Month" for October. Both students were recognized at chapel exercises held in the auditorium prior to the "Miss Merry Christmas" contest on Tuesday afternoon, December 2. The announcements were made in chapel by Mr. B. T. Gault, principal of the Taylors schools.
What are the elements that make a person qualify for student of the month. Lets take a look at Ethelene Alewine, our student of the month.
Girl Student
The first thing accredited to Ethelene would be her dependability. If there is ever a job that needs doing, you can count on Ethelene to do it and do it well.
Activities fall right in line. She is a member of the FBLA, FHA, FTA, Beta Club, Bi-Phy-Chem, Traffic Committee and she is Junior Class News Editor for the "Eagle". In most of these clubs Ethelene holds an office. From this list of activities one can see our student of the month is a qualified leader.
Besides being active in our school projects Ethelene is very active in church work. She accompanies the Junior and Concord Choirs.
After taking time for all these many things, somehow, she maintains a "B" average.
Congratulations, Ethelene, keep up the good work. Our school is proud to have a student with your spirit and ambition.
Boy Student
Jerry Johnson, a junior, was recently elected "Student of the Month." Jerry was selected on the basis of dependability, leadership, courtesy, co-operation, initiative, Sunday School attendance, and service to school and community.
He is active in basketball, baseball, and football and was co-captain and quarterback for the football team this year. Last year he was on the Eagle basketball team which won State recognition. Jerry plays baseball for the Greer Amercan Legion team and is a promising pitcher.
Jerry is in the Block "T" Club, By-Phy-Chem, the junior play, and advertising manager for the Eagle. He, indeed, deserves this honor of being "Student of the Month".

Taylors FFA Places Second In Contest
By Larry Vaughn
In competition with eleven other teams the Taylors FFA soil judging group scored 2nd in a federation contest held in November at Hillcrest High School. Taking top honor was Berea High School.
Forthcoming in the Greenville federation is a Parliamentary Procedure Contest. In preparation for this event the Taylors agriculture class is studying "Robert's Rules of Order", a book based on this subject.
A meeting of the Taylors chapter was held November 17th in the agriculture shop. A film on the subject of "Wild Life Conservation" was shown and refreshments were served afterwards.
Mr. Gault Guest Speaker At Beta Blub Meeting
On November 4, the Beta Club met at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Jones.
Mr. Gault, as guest speaker, spoke on "Letting your Light So Shine." In this speech he stressed the fact that no matter how small your candle is, it still gives off a light, and many small lights make a bright one.
The business discussed at the meeting was a project for the betterment of the school and the selling of pansy plants as a moneymaking project. The club also decided to attend the State Convention, which will be held at the Jefferson Hotel in Columbia, during February. The officers for this year are as follows: president, David Watson; vice president, Rebecca Roper; secretary, Ethelene Alewine; treasurer, Horace Jones; reporter, Bea Wuest.
Junior Play Is Success; Give 2 Performances
By Ethelene Alewine
Tantrums, a mixed-up love affair, brawling, and gossiping teenagers were all part of the Junior play, "Taming the Brat", presented November 20-21 in the high school auditorium.
The cast consisted of six girls and four boys involved in a situation of reforming the disposition of a spoiled teenager, portrayed by Dawn Greenwood.
Dale Leake and Becky Roper were the parents of this pampered child. Jerry Johnson and Walter White were teenage friends of the brat. Jerry like the brat a lot but until she became unspoiled she gave him none of her attention. Walter was not crazy about the brat; his main interest was tennis.
Boy crazy, gossipy, and silly are only mild descriptions of the parts Ethelene Alewine and Jenny Moon portrayed. They were both strictly juvenile. Jimmy Ayers was a football hero and Joyce Greene was his fiancee. Ann Taylor portrayed a hard working maid. Extras for a party scene were David Rosamond, Betty Ellison, Don Simmons, and Sheila Keenan.
Matinee Given
The play was given for the elementary students Thursday morning, November 20. It was reported that they thoroughly enjoiyed it. During parts of the play the children even stood up in their seats, laughing and screaming. The following night, November 21, the play was presented for the community. This performance was also a great success. The long hours of practice, indeed, paid off in the end.
For helping make the play a success, the Juniors want to thank the directors, Mrs. Bull and Mrs. Jones. Their time and patience is greatly appreciated. Jimmy Turner and Johnny Carlisle, the stage managers, did a fine job of building the scenery and other details necessary for having a successful play. Mr. Huggins was in charge of the make-up and lights. Bea Wuest was promoter. We certainly could not have managed without her assistance.
Following the play, a party was given for the cast at the home of Walter White. The delicious refreshments consisted of sandwiches, potato chips, cookies, and Pepsi Colas. Everyone had a wonderful time.

[Column 1, Article 1] Conduct In Chapel
a chapel program to most students is the heighlight [highlight] of their week. However, comments have been made recently concerning the conduct of the students, who attend these chapel programs. Loud talking, making noises with our feet and laughing are certainly not ways of showing that we are enjoying the program. We must show our appreciation to the people who give of their time to put on these programs for us.
Guest speakers will certainly think that we do not have manners if we do these things while they are here. To show out gratitude to them for taking time out of their work day to them and always remember, that how we act in public is what people judge usby.
--- Are You Serious?
Can you honestly say you have taken every advantage and opportunity offered to you toward getting a good education?
By working in school, you are better prepared for college or the business world. More important that this is the founation acquired in high school.
Most students would like to receive more knowledge than they do, but often they give excuses for their failures. If pupils would spend the time they use making excuses nd wasting time, they would have time for the extra curricula[curricular] activities.
Why not try these rules which have been successfully used:
1 — Study in a quite [quiet] comfortable spot with all your books and equipment around you. 2— Make a budget of your time. Plan your work and then work out your plan step by step. 3— Learn when to read carefully and when to "skim". Don't be afraid to bear down. Study never injured anybody's brain. 4— Get your teachers to help you. Their greatest delight is in helping someone who is trying. Who could help you more than the teacher of the subject you find most difficult? 5— Use your library. Make the accumulated knowledge of mankind work for you. 6— Grow up emotionally. This will enable you to accept criticism and will give you self-confidence.
In the following these rules you will find satisfaction in accomplishment. There will be rich rewards at school, at home, and in your future.

[Column 2, Article 1] 'THE WORTHIEST CAUSE"
Tomorrow is a sad, sad day,
For me it is more than tragic; No prayer, no hopes could change it now,
Not even the highest magic. I suppose I should be glad and
Joyful,
To be picked from a hundred flock;
But life to me cannot be destroyed, By a mere ax and chopping block. Then again turkey, and dressing, and giblet gravy.
Can undo all trouble and strife; To this a very worthy cause, I am willing to give my life.
By Judy Bryant.

Big Success
A crisp October evening and delicious aroma of pancakes seemed to stimulate the appetite of the Taylors area folk as they turned out in large numbers at the Pancake Supper sponsored by the P. T. A.
The pancakes and sausage made a fine combination along with all the syrup and butter you desired. A choice of coffee or milk was served with the meal.
Scurrying about the lunchroom, the home economic girls are to be commended for the time and effort they put into serving the tables.
To make the occasion more pleasant, organ music was provided by a local music company. The room was decorated with autumn leaves and Halloween cut-outs.
The entire school wishes to thank the P. T. A. for sponsoring such a program since all will benefit from the proceeds.
--- Parade
Everybody loves a parade! On Saturday afternoon, November 22 at four o'clock the sound of a band was heard. The Greer High School Band came marching down the main streer of Greer. This was the beginning of the Taylors High School Homecoming Parade.
Behind the band rode the Senior and Junior High Cheerleaders and a car filled with Booster Club rrepresentatives. Next followed the class sponsors, sponsors for the senior players. team sponsors, and then the homecoming queen.
The alumnae was also represented with their 1954 queen. Mrs. Sarah Lynn Miller and continuing on with their high school activities were cheerleaders from the various graduating classes. Riding in the parade were Miss Anne Shockley, Miss Emilie Cooper, Mrs. Irene Elkes Ward, Mrs. Mary Badger Gay. Miss Emily Cunningham and Mrs. Barbara Woodall Satterfield.
The parade was very colorful with its lovely ladies driving the different makes of convertibles. Each sponsor was dressed in an attractive fall costume. Nothing in the world cheers the hearts of people like beautifully dressed girls
We at Taylors High are grateful to all the people who contributed to our parade, particularly to the city of Greer and to the members of the Greer Band who led our parade. May our school continue to reflect some of the glory that was ours on that day.
We will never keep hoping that one day our own band will lead our parade.
[Article 1, Title and first 2 paragraphs span columns 3 & 4] LAMENTS FROM A DESK!
By Becky Roper
I m one of those awkard [awkward] looking pieces of school furniture with only one arm, for you see, I am a desk at a nameless high school in the deep South.
I lead quite a life during the winter but my pace of living slows down a bit during the summer vacation. You really should hear some of my experiences. Why just the other day ... oh, I will just go ahead and described a typical day to you.
By Becky Roper
8:00: At this early hour, everything is quiet on the home front except for the faint chatter of voices out on the front steps. Well, I'll just take one last cat-nap before my day begins.
8:30: My, goodness! What a rude awakening that was- He certainly did sit down hard! This is homeroom. It isn't nearly as exciting as most of the other periods.
8:45: What a relief! I certainly hope a dainty little creature chooses me next. Sweet relief, one did. I do wish those books weren't so heavy. Why, they're bad on my arm nerves.
9:45: Since I've gone one lap of the way, I suppose I can survive the rest. Sometimes, I wonder. A long-legged boy is sitting on me now. Ouch! This must be geometry.
10:45: Oh, my! I do wish she would stop drawing droodles on my arm. It tickles unbearably.
11:45: These students certainly must think I haven't any feeling. A boy just finished carving his girl's initals on my arm.
1:00: Lunch is over and everyone is drowzy and sleepy. A boy is breathing down my neck and giving me fits.
2:00: Thanks heavens that period
[continues at top of column 4] is over. Gracious! I'm sure I'll have a big scar on my shin from that kick I just received. Some people really have no sympathy on the desk society.
2:45: There went the bell and how glad I am! Now, I can rest up for tomorrow.
---- SH-H-H
Have you noticed how quiet the halls seem to be this year? Well, "hushpuppies" are to blame. The soles of those shoes are made of crepe rubber so this enables the wearer to sneak up on anyone.
The teacher can be thankful that there is no possible way of attaching taps to these shoes as you can on ordinary shoes. These soles seem to last longer than the regular rubber or leather soled shoes; why, I don't know.
These shoes are available at most shoe stores since they see to be the rage lately. They come in all colors, red included.

Winthrop Training Defeats Taylors
Outstanding QB Thomas Pitcher ran and passed his team to a commanding 34-0 lead over the Taylors High Eagles as the first half climaxed at the Winthrop Stadium.
The Eagles only show of spirit appeared as Tommy Edwards, second string HB sprinted 75 yards, behind the interference of Jimmy Turner and David Arledge, on the opening kick-off of the second half.
The Taylors second team played most of the final half with Stuart Gilmer and Don Simmons leading their defense.
Lamar Wakefield and David Arledge played well for the first unit.
The Eagles offense lacked spark and was held mostly in its own territory throughout the game. Tallying three times in the third and fourth quarters Winthrop Training finished the contest, 54-6.

BR Tigers Win Over Eagles, 33-14
Early in the first quarter the Blue Ridge High Tigers scored on a 55 yard run and added the PAT to take a quick 7-0 lead over the Taylors Eagles.
The defense failed to click for the Taylors team as the Tigers tallied thrice more in the first half. But as the minutes were running out HB Walter White moved the ball to the one yard line in two carries before being removed due to an injury. From here QB Jerry Johnson pushed over for the TD with a pass from Carlisle to Ross making the extra point.
Holding Blue Ridge to single score the Taylors eleven worked well in the second half on both offense and defense. Backs Carlisle, Batson, and B. Johnson running hard put the ball on the one yard line where QB J. Johnson sneaked the final yard. Plemmons split the uprights for his second PAT of the game putting the score to 2614.
Freshman Billy Turner, substituting for his injured brother, Jimmy, led the defensive wall with eight individual tackles.
End Larry Vaughn and fullback Johnny Carlisle were also outstand-

Wren Wins 13-0
Many vigorous attempts died inside the 15-yard line as the Taylors High Team met the Wren High Squad.
The first drive for Taylors ended on the 11 yard line as the Eagles fumbled giving Wren the ball.
With the Taylors defense strong in the first period, the Wren team failed to move out of their own territory and the latter lost the ball on downs.
Taking the "pigskin" inside Wren's 50 yard line, the Eagles once again executed a vigorous drive, this time to the three yard line, ending as bad breaks fell their way. The half ended 0-0.
Second half play proceded with Wren turning the cards to dominate the scrimmage with two quick scores in the 4th quarter. One off a five-yard plunge, and the other from a 35-yard pass play. Succeeding in one PAT attempt the latter won the game 13-0.
