t \ Thursday, May 11, 1950 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE .T- Page Five ) Some Recollections Of 'Anniversary' Days Reminiscenses of PreobyterUn Sunday School Celebrations In the Lone Aro. (A Few Recollections of the Old Anniversary (As told to Mrs. W. H. Shands by Mrs. Mamie Rhett Copeland, next to the oldest member o«f First Presby terian Church of Clinton). Dr. Jacobs organized the Sabbath school of our church May 22, 1864. I was bom in 1866. Through the years, if a question arose as to which an- aniversary was being celebrated, 1 could quickly give the correct an swer by adding two years to my age. My first recollection of coming to the anniversary celebration was in 1872, when I was six years old. I remember the ladies spreading table-1 cloths on the ground in front of the old Seasion House. (It sat in the northeast corner of the present cem-1 etery). There were no tables for the pknic dinner. The Anniversary most outstanding in my memory was in 1882 when I was 16 years old. So many young people came down from Laurens. What a good time we had together, j I remember, too, a song sung that day by everyone present, young and old. It was “The Great Physician Now is Near, the Sympathizing Je sus.” We all loved it. That day, dinner was spread On 1 long tables on each side of the long walk under the elm trees. The three beautiful banners car ried each year in the march from orphanage to church will always stind out in my memory—one blue,! one red, and one yellow. The three banner classes (one for best attend-, ance, one for largest contributions to missions, and one for largest -Sun day school collection) always led the procession. There was much rivalry in trying to merit this honor. Cousin Kit Young always saw to it that his class carried the banner for best col-, lection. If he found another class about to surpass his, he always man aged to get another contribution to swell the fund. I regret that I will be unable to attend this year, but hope the re vival of Anniversary will be a great success. Excerpt* From Letter by Mrs. Nan j Love Copeland Stover, Daytona Beach, Fla. I have just finished reading the Clinton Chronicle and enjoyed Sally Hamp Copeland Farris write-up about the Sunday School Anniver sary of long ago, as well as the many other letters written by those who attended that grand occasion. i Presbyterian Takes Tenth Tennis Crown 1 Presbyterian college swept to its tenth South Carolina tennis champ ionship here Saturday taking both ; singles and doubles titles in the an nual tournament. -1 MclNTOSH'S SHOE SHOP Send Your Shoes To Us tor Best Materials and Workmanship. To me, who at that time was a very small girl, “Anniversary Day” meant a picnic of fried chicken, ham, all kinds of cake and pies, with plenty of ice cold lemonade served from a huge tin tub on the church grounds. I liked, too, the program put on by the children of the Sun day school, although I was never a part of it. Mother worked and planned months ahead for us to ° have new dresses, hats and shoes for this great day. My new shoes would always squeak with every step, but I didn’t mind, for that was a way of saying, “Look, folks! I have new shoes.” I remember mother gave me $1.50 to purchase my hat, and I went alone to Mrs. Simpson’s millinery shop and asked to see a leghorn sail or. She had two styles to select from —one at $1.00 and the other 50c. She insisted I take the cheaper hat and use the dollar for forget-me-not flowers to place around the crown. I decided to buy the better hat and use velvet ribbon for trimming. She commended me for my good taste. Those were the good old days. Well do I remember Mother and Dad tak ing us to Sunday school, in which Mother taught a class, and Dad was librarian of the Sunday school. We loved dear old Dr. Jacobs, and to me he was truly a man of God, al ways kind and thoughtful of others. I think ail my loved ones plan to attend the Anniversary (there are seven of us left, and we are all get ting up in years). I regret that I cannot -be present, but I shall, be there in spirit, and pray that the re vival of Anniversary Day will be a great success.
