THE CHRONICLE, CUnton, S. G, February 18, 1969—6-C t***************************** ♦ * * * Bell St. Highlights iraralSlNull] FARMS and FOLKS BY MICHAEL K. DARBINS During last week I had the pleasure of interviewing some of the students here at Bell Street High on their feelings of how the guidance department can help or has helped them and the school as a whole. It was a very in teresting and beneficial exper ience for the and I hope that in the future more such inter views can be conducted. In the interview I talked with members of the Senior, Junior, Sophmore and Freshmen classes. The Senior had this to say: “Our Guidance Counselor, Mrs. A. R. Barksdale, is very helpful in assisting students in making decisions of what courses to take, what extracurricular activities best fit their needs, and what careers they should choose. li you need information or help ir solving your problems, go in and talk to her.' The Junior made these com ments: “The members of my class and I feel that counsel ing is an important part of our school. It provides a way to get certain problems solved. I believe that if more students would go in for counseling, we would have less problems in our school.' These are the remarks of the Sophmore: “I don’t feel that a student should be afraid to have a conference with the guidance counselor. The counselor is there to help with any problems that a student has which might interfere with his school work.' The last person to be inter viewed was a freshman and he had this to say about the gui dance department: “I feel that the guidance department is an essential part of the school. It is there not only to assist in academic problems, but also in Cross Hill News BY MRS. SARAH SEGARS Mrs. E. P. Boazman, Mrs. B. •i’.

Friends and relatives here are interested in the wedding of Mrs. Lynn Walker Coats to Donald Dudley of Columbia. They will reside in Columbia. adjusting to requirements of high school learning. ’ He went further to say, 'Idpo’t think that anyone should have any fears about going in for coun seling. The average student thinks that if he is called in for an interview, he had done something wrong, but this is not true. Often the guidance coun selor brings you good and ben eficial news.' While conducting the interview it seems that all four inter viewees had one common opin ion. They all seem to be in agreement about how helpful and beneficial the guidance depart ment is. I would like to add to what has been mentioned by saying that, “I do not believe that a student should wait to be called for a conference, but he should have enough interest to go in for a conference on his own.'

We have some pretty tall pines in the Palmetto State too. In fact, the tallest recorded tree in the state is a pine, a white pine in Oconee County which stretches 165 feet into the Caro lina sky. That makes it55yards--more than half the length of a foot ball field. The Oconee beacon is among the state’s biggest trees check ed out by S. C. foresters in co operation with a nation-wide “big tree' program. The foresters have found at least 16 trees in the state topping the 100-foot mark, five of them pines. They have also come up with 10 giants having a limb spread of over 100 feet. The program is a part of the “Social Register of Big Trees,' maintained by the American For estry Association. The listing gives each state an opportunity not only to keep an updated inventory of its own outstanding trees, but to com pare them with others around the country. Since the program started in this state foresters have logged many miles through swamps, hills and flatlands to search out and measure trees possibly qua lifying for honors. A list has been compiled cov ering 76 tree species, with di mensions of the biggest in each category. The champs range from the 165-foot pine in Oconee to an 18- foot tree-sparkleberry, in the same county. Trees are measured for height, circumference and limb spread. The circumference is taken 4.5 feet from the base. The biggest in this category is a mountain sized cypress in Orangeburg County which measured 29 feet and nine inches. It also topped out at 122 feet high and had a limb spread of 60 feet -- a pretty good sized tree also. Largest overall sprawl was chalked up for a live oak in Dorchester County which has a limb spread of 141 feet. How does S. C. rate in the na tion-wide “battle of the biggest?’ We’ve come up with five nat ional champions and one co champ. A 40-foot tall Southern crab apple on Par km an Drive in Co lumbia is the largest of its kind in the country, and the nation’s champion laurel oak is a 126- foot tall giant in Berkeley Coun ty. Georgetown County boasts three of the national winners, two of them in Brookgreen Gardens. The three are a 33-foot tall red buckeye, an 86-foot swamp gum and a 38-foot laurel cherry. Holding national co-champion honors is a 125-foot spruce pine near Mt. Holly in Berkeley Coun ty. The program has drawn a lot of interest over the state. Every county has its'bragging trees,’ and there are always peo ple interested in seeing that they are logged. 'We’ve had a lot of people nominate trees for the list,’ says W. J. Barker, Clem- son University Extension fores ter. “Most of the entries,' he says, “are suggested by folks who re call that, ‘that was a big tree when I was a boy.’ " The Extension forester asks those knowing of exceptional-size trees to report them to their county agents. ment,’ he says, “and if they wiU let their county agent know about them he will either take care of the measuring or pass the word along the forestry folks.'
