[Column 1] Council Holds First Meeting September 11
Jimmy Turner, president of the student body, presided over the first student council meeting. This meeting was held September 11.
In order for the council to function properly, the members must clearly understand all parts of the constitution. The president went over each article in the constitution and points that were not clear were discussed.
Mrs. Pou, who is to be the new sponsor, suggested several projects the council might adopt. These porjects were discussed. Two projects needing immediate attention were voted on and accepted. The council will take charge of the seating arrangement in chapel and will sell Taylors High banners and pins as a money making project. Definite action on the above projects will be taken at the next meeting.

[Top of Column 2] Plans Completed For New School
Early in the tear the citizens of Greenville County voted overwhelmingly in favor of a bond issue which would provide the money for renovation and erection of school buildings all over the Greenville school district.
The already inadequate facilities of the school buildings at Paris and Taylors had been taxed far beyond limitations for several years. beginning with the war babies' boom and continuing on a much larger scale. Conditions were agravated by the literally thousands of children that were thrust into the schools with the "mushrooming growth" of the surrounding areas.
Although the plight of the schools was all too appearent, because of lack of funding, nothing but hopeful promises could be given to anxious parents and onlookers. However with the filling of the coffers of the school district by the (Continue On Page 4, Col. 2)

Beginning this year the first through the twelfth grades are inelementary school and the seventh through twenfth[twelfth] grades are included as the high school. In the past, the first through the eighth grades were the elementary school and the ninth through the twelfth grades were the high school. This is being done in order to acquaint the seventh and eighth graders with high school life so that they will more easily fit into the role of the high scholl when the new school is completed.
In the high school there is a total of 544 students. The eighth grade leads the list with a total of 112 students while the seventh and tenth grades tie with ninety-five students each. The eleventh grade rates next with seventy-eight students while the senior class claims seventy-three members, the largest in the history of Taylors High School.
With the increase in students the classrooms are being used to their fullest advantage. One home economics class know as the "sewing room" has been given up to an eighth grade class and the other "home ec" room has been partioned[partitioned] into two classrooms.

[Image in column 1 depicts a ink well and dip pen] Thoughts From The Editor's Pen
[Column 1, Article 1] Here it is September! One can hardly realize that summer is over, and we are in harness again. Most of the murmurings that we hear around the school are good. Everyone seems quite pleased with his or her teachers, schedules, new friends and old friends.
The EAGLE takes this opportunity to welcome our old and new faculty members and to give a cordial greeting to our new students, and we urge them to take part in all our student activities.
Speaking of student activities, our cheerleaders set the tempo for school spirit but unless the student body and faculty back them up, somewhere down the line the yells lose their downbeat. The student body gets off key if this happens and the football team does not get that feeling that "they're behind us all the way". Our football team needs support and let's give them all we have.
Mr. Gault is now beginning his second year at Taylors High. Each month we have seen results of his careful planning. The opening day of school was an amazing one. Everything went off "just like clockwork". It is always good when you know what to do. Students like a well organized high school with a principal who is interested in the future of every boy and girl. Mr. Gault has had excellent help with his assistant Mr. Huggins and an efficient secretary Mrs. Wilson. Have you ever stopped to think about the number of details handled in our school office? Yes, it takes a good principal, teachers and pupils working together to make a good high school. This is your school, what is your contribution?
This year will be the last one for the football team and all other student activities at Taylors High. But for you and me the words Taylors High will always remain dear to our hearts. Let us make these memories good ones with no regrets.

[Column 2, Article 1; Title in box with a drop cap "R"] Roving WITH Ruth
By RUTH ANN GREENWOOD
Bearing in mind the old saying "ask a silly question, get a silly answer," I went roving with the question if you won a free trip to the moon for two, who would you take with you and why. Get a load of the answers.
Jenny Moon wrinkled her nose and said, "Uh, I don't wanna go but if I did I'd take Gaines so we could die together."
After a long moment of deep consideration, Paul Catoe said, "Id take Mrs. Henderson, She's my biology teacher and knows lots about the moon."
For a few minutes Mike Johnson thoughtfully mused over the question then replied, "I sure do need butter in algebra so I'd take Mrs. Long."
Next I approached Pat Lloyd with the question and she answered, "Johnny Carlisle, because he looks like the type that could bring a space ship back to earth."
Billy Turner's answer was, "I would take Bridgette Bardot because she could really shake up the moon men for me."
After about five minutes of girlish giggling Marilue Stokes said, "I'd take Darden because he could scare the moon people away from me."
It took Walter White the entire fourth period to decide who he would take but he finally said, "I'd take that new girl, Pat Lloyd, so we could get better acquainted."
Miss Greer's light reply was, "I would take George Finnemon because he's always giving out checks and if he can cope with Groucho Marx he can come with a moon man."
Last, I approached Miss Welborn and after a few minutes of thoughtful consideration she answered, 'I guess I would take my boyfriend so if I decide to live on the moon, I'd have someone to make a living for me."
Several people asked who "yours truly" would take to the moon so I will now reveal it to all of you. I would take Alex so if the moon people happened to have a sock hop, I would be sure to have a good partner.
So long until next month when we'll go roving again.

Fashions To Fit
The fall of '59 brings in many new and interesting features in the high school fashion world, ranging from the most desired luxuries to the most practical school necessities.
Since fur trimmed suits and tinted hose are of little concern to the school girl set, they top their list of luxury items with cashmere sweatures and pretty bracelets. Speaking of this year's sweaters, not since the "Shaggy Dog" has anything been shaggier. Fortunately, they are much prettier than the four legged specimen and come in nicer colors too.
In case a large part of your clothes allowance has been transferrd[transferred] to older brothers and sisters who are headed for college or younger ones headed to the dentist for braces, you will look just as smart by shorting last year's skirts and adding crisp new stay-out blouses to your wardrobe. Next, throw in a shiny pair of black loafers (or suede "hushpuppies") and lots of thick white socks which, by the way, are thicker tha neevr.[than ever] Top it off with a chemise or bucket bag and you're just as new as next months' Seventeen!
[Column 3, Article 1] Book Gives Helpful Hints To Students

Greenville Gains Cultural Center
Have you ever been on a tour through a European castle? As a matter of fact we have a replica of one in Greenville just off East North Stret [Street]. It is the old Gassaway Mansion.
This huge replica of several foreign castles, costing three quarters of a million dollars, was designed by Mrs. Gassaway and was six years in the building. In 1924 Mrs. Gassaway had stones from the old mill on the Reedy River moved to the castle for the foundation. The same year the family moved in and only four years later they lost the mansion to the bank. During the time the castle was occupied by the Gassaways, thousands of dollars were spent on the interior, much of which was imported.
Following the losing of the house to the bank, the mansion was divided into low-rent apartments.

[Column 4, Article 1] Victory Bell
Once in a while editors get swept away in school bettermnt schemes. Because of the sentiment connected with the fact that the days of Taylors High are numbered and since bettering school spirit is a favorite subject of editorials anyway, it was especially easy to b [smudged, possibly "be"] completely carried awat on a project to improve school spirit at Taylors.
This year will be the last chance studsents will have to "settle up" with Taylors for friends made, good times enjoyed, and knowledge gained while here.
The project would have to be extra special and unique at Taylors, something that could be long remembered even after the doors at Taylors High are closed. The editors concluded that a victory bell would be the perfect thing.
The bell would be very large, like those that were used in the old plantation era to call the slaves at sundown.
It would be mounted on the front lawn on a neat foundation. Its resonant bonging voice would become a symbol of Taylors and of victory. With its ringing on special days, such as on graduation night and holidays, it would become a wonderful tradition.
The bell would not be forgotten for it would be moved to the new high school to carry on its noble tradition. For future classes it woul perpetuate the memory and ideals of Taylors High School.
All this, of course, is just a fond dream. There would be numerous kinks to be ironed out. Yet if everyone would co-operate, it would be possible. Here lies the main catch, getting and maintaining student interest.
These would be prime benefits of the victory bell project; the spirit of co-operation that would prevail among all — teachers, students, clubs, and councils; and a true feeling of interest of the student body. Interest and co-operation, the two greatest gifts we could give Taylors!
——
Social Groups
A recent look around Taylors High showed that there were many small social groups in existence. These groups center around a few "select" people and exclude all others.
Not many students realize the harm and disadvantages involved. These disadvantages are often times of danger to one's own personality and life. Everyone wants a well-rounded, well-balanced life, but how can this be obtained unless one gets out, meets new friends and develops new interests? A person needs "to try his hand at a little bit of everything " and be broadminded enough to listen to the reason through new ideas. Belonging to a "one and only" gorup is mostly a hinderance to designing one's life rather than a help.
There is another disadvantage to these small groups in that they present a big problem to the new students entering the high school. Most oocial[social] groups do not like to take a change on the new boy or girl. This attitude makes the groups seem snobbish and self-centered. Given a "break", these new pupils may prove themselves to be great friends with ceaseless talents.
Another deinite disadvantage is the unplesant relationship between those who "belong" and those who don't. Sometimes not knowingly, the people in these social groups mistreat the other members of their class or school. The group members may feel that others are not socially "good enough," so they purposely avoid them. This leads to many hurt feelings and misunderstandings.
It really pays in every way to be friendly to all others. Many different friends can open the doors to a new and interesting life.

[Column 1, Article 1] Focusing the ..... ....... Sportlight
By CHARLES SIMS
"My it surely feels good to win," have been the echo over and over again by the Taylors High fans. The Eagles have had tough luck for the past two years and it was a bit tough to read about other victories but our boys did not stop, and their courage won for them a place in the victor's column.
After so many defeats this win of 21 to 7 meant much and it has put a spark of ego in the team to win again
Looking over the schedule, many tough teams appear but taking note of the roster we find many Eagles who will meet this great challenge with willingness to do his best.
Coach Ross and Bramlett Have Great Expectations
Coach Ross and Bramlett feel that the prospects are good and that if the determination of the boys is kept high enough they can really bring in the touchdowns. One sure thing about the coaches, they are out there working and are putting forth every effort to get the Eagles in shape.
A Preview of the Team
First the line, which this year is probably one of the biggest yet. Over the summer months many of them have put on weight. Charles Plemmons who tops the scales at over 200lbs. has many fellows close behind him in size. Morris Chandler who had a knee injury now weighs around 185. Alex Patrick and Dale Leake are close behind him. Stuart Gilmer, the lightest tackle, weighs around 165. Stuart hustles in the forward wall. At the end positions are Lamar Wakefield 170, Donny Dempsey 160, Mike Johnson 150 and Danny Cunningham 155.
Holding up the center is co-captain and veteran Jimmy Turner. Other valuable players are David Arledge and Billy Turner 165 and 170 respectively. Three plays on the 2nd team are Don Simmons, Jimmy McCoy and Charles Sims.
Two other Eagles who push their weight around are the fullbacks Johnny Carlisle, co-captain Gerald Dempsey. Flanking these two on the right and left are half backs Tommy Edwards, Billy Batson, Billy Hammond and Walter White.
Jerry Johnson, a very valuable quartback, hod[had] tough luck in receiving a knee injury and will be out for the season. The three playing quarterbacks are Jimmy Ayers, Jerry Daigle and Bucky Loftis. Ayers, a senior, is back wth[with] the team after being out last year with an injured back.
Back Your Team
The team needs you and you and you — Your presence at the games means everything — So come to the games and bring a dozen with you.
[Column 2, Article 1] Eagles Route Warriors 21-7
The Taylors Eagles took their first victory in two years by halting the Belton Warriors 21-7 in a brilliant defensive game.
Belton was held for minus rushing yardage in the first three plays from scrimmage and was forced to punt which the Eagles took and were quick to score on by moving the ball down field. Edwards scored the first touchdown of the night on a beautiful piece of reversed field running and a key block from Bill Turner. Plemmons kicked the first of his three conversions.
The strong forward wall of Taylors stopped Belton's only serious threat of the first half on the one foot line. At the half-time the Eagles were leadi9ing 7-0.
Jerry Daigle, sophomore quarterback, started the scoring in the second hald on the three yard quarterback sneak and threw a pass to fullback John Carlisle in the end zone for the last Taylors score of the night.
Daigle and Ayers did a fine job of quarterbacking for the night, although first-string Jerry Johnson was out for the season with a torn cartilege in his knee, which he received in pre-season scrimmage.
Belton's lone score came in the third period from fullback Joe Hawkins on a one-yard plunge after the Eagles had held for three downs on the goal line. Workman ran the extra point.
Walter White, Johnny Carlisle, and Tommy Edwards did a fine job on offense by grinding yard after yard. Captain Jim Turner, with the help of Charles Plemmons and Don Howell along with the hard charging line, held off the defense for the night.

Sophomore quarterback Jerry Daigle scored one touchdown and passed for another to spark the fired up Taylors High Eagles to a 28-0 victory over the inexperience Piedmont-Ellen Woodside Blue Devils last Friday night at Piedmont.
Daigle ignited the Eagles, who won their first game last week after managing only one tie in 20 previous starts, by sneaking over from the two in the first period.
The Stellar performer completed the night's scoring by completing a 35-yard pass-run play with end Mike Johnson crossing the double stripes in the fourth quarter.
Tackle Charles Plemmons, a 240-pound work horse, played an outstanding game on offense and defense and kciked all four extra points.
Halfback Tommy Edwards set-up the game's first score with a 22-yard end sweep. Daigle capped the 60-yard march a few plays later.
Edwards sprinted around end for 47 yards and a second quarter touchdown. Fullback Johnny Carlisle upped the margin another notch when he bulled over from the four in the third period. The Daigle-Johnson combination then completed the rout.
End Donnie Dempsey shared in the Eagles' glory with some fine defensive work.
Quarterback Dean McAlister and halfback Butch Davis were the standouts for Piedmont - Ellen Woodside.

The Woodruff Wolverines scored in every period but one to beat Taylors 26-0 in the opening game of the season.
Woodruff, of the Class A Piedmont Conference, scored in the first quarter on third down and a long pass from Garrett to quarterback, David Miller. The extra point was no good.
Eagles offense started to roll midway in the second quarter only to be halted by a series of fumbles which set up a pair of Woodruff touchdowns. Kerr scored from sixyards out after getting the ball on the Taylors 20. Mason kicked the extra point. A fouth touchdown for Woodruff came aftre the Eagles fumbled on the 35 yard line, losing the ball to the Wolverines who carried it to the one. Here Garrett scored his second T.D. of the night by pushing over from the one.
A 7-yard run by Garrett ended the Woodruff scoring in the final quarter. Garrett ran the extra point.
Carlisle led Taylors rushes with an average of 4.3 yards per carry for the night. The defensive standouts for the Eagles were Jay Turner, John Carlisle, and Marion Hammonds.

Boy Scout Jamboree
The World Boy Scout Jamboree was the destination of Darden Pyron as he left Taylors July 7 for an enchanting trip to the Far East.
After boarding the plane in Atlanta the first stop was San Francisco, where the pre-jamboree training took place at Hamilton Air Force Base.
After losing Sunday crossing the Interation Date Line, their plane made a rough landing in Tokyo, July 13. Darden reports that many of the boys were pretty sick including himself.
Following a jam-packed three day tour of fabulous Tokyo, the group left for the Philippines where they set up tents by flashlight and moonlight in Mount Makiling National Park, where the Jamboree took place.
As Darden stated in his letters back home, "The weather is terrible, I'm having a ball!"
Bangkok, Thailand, the City of Temples, was next on the agenda with its great and ancient network of canals, the brilliantly attired monks burning incense and chanting to Lord Buddha.
Leaving Bangkok, the Scouts arrived in Hongkong with its countless shops carrying the very finest goods from all over the world. It could be described as a "shopper's paradise".
Arriving home, Darden is filled with memories ot last a lifetime.

FBLA Convention
Alex Patrick, State President of the Future Business Leaders of America, along with approximately twenty-five other delegates from South Carolina attented the National Future Business Leaders Convention in Washington, D. C. in June.
During the group's four days in Washington, they stayed at the Mayflower Hotel.
On Sunday morning, Alex attended services at the National Presbyterian Church where the president attends. However, Alex did not see him that Sunday.

The mansion, situated on six acres of land was purchased for sixty-eight thousand dollars and is now being restored as it was when first built. Stained glass windows in the upper floor and tower are all imported and hand rolled. The paneling in the building is walnut and light mahogany costing approximately twenty-eight thousand dollars.
Some art exhibits now on display are 19th Century Dutch by Fichel, "Landscape" by Cochoud, "Le Croquis" by Weber, "Mon Ami le Chat" by James Buchannan and "Mountain Folk'. In the near future there will be many more new additions to the collection.
One of the largest rooms in the house is the music room. This room is furnished with a grand piano and several paintings. Over the marble hearth is an inscription by Mrs. Gassaway which reads "A man should read a little poetry and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the humor."
